U.S. Constructing ‘Virtual Border Wall’ with Advanced AI Technology

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The U.S. government is constructing a ‘virtual wall’ on the southern border by deploying multiple sophisticated surveillance towers, with some employing artificial intelligence, as part of an effort to manage the nation’s border, according to a report in Axios.

The failure to control the border has resulted in a surge of illegal immigrants flooding into the United States.  According to a Congressional report last month, the failed immigration policy of the Biden Administration will cost taxpayers nearly half a trillion dollars per year.

Since President Biden assumed office in 2021, the immigrant population has surged by 4.5 million, equivalent to the total population of states like Louisiana, Oregon, and Oklahoma, and surpassing the population of 23 smaller states.

While surveillance towers have been used for some time, however the integration of Artificial Intelligence enhances their capability to detect unusual activities. AI technology can differentiate between people and animals, enabling Border Patrol agents to deploy resources to areas where illegal activity is detected more accurately.

According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit focused on digital civil liberties, the U.S. has set up approximately 300 various types of surveillance towers spanning from the California coast to the southernmost point of Texas.

Defense companies, including Anduril Industries and Elbit Systems of America, a subsidiary of the Israel-based Elbit Systems, are among the firms that have recently constructed new towers along the border.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have commended the autonomous technology, praising it as a significant asset that aids agents in their duties, and it has garnered support from both political parties.

In October, a record-breaking figure of over 240,000 individuals were detained for illegally crossing the border, marking the highest number ever reported for the month of October in recorded history.

However, critics warn that the deployment of new surveillance technology is sparking concerns about civil liberties, a point emphasized by various digital watchdog organizations.
